Tech and Coding for Social Impact

In this introductory-level coding program, students will gain an insider’s perspective on today’s fastest-growing industry: tech. We go through a mini coding Bootcamp, developing the groundwork for a skill that many employers are coming to value in the new age of computing and work. Then, we explore Social Impact careers in tech through engaging with industry professionals at companies and start-ups to learn about how their work tackles a social issue and seeks to advance society. The course concludes with a hackathon, where students create their own website or solve a programming problem, presenting their final projects and solutions in front of classmates and industry professionals.
